Chapter 350 Chopsticks is raising funds again!
"We've finally arrived at Jinglan City! Wow, Jinglan City is so beautiful!"
Lin Hao watched a video posted by the girl from the Second Generation Starry Sky in his office with a face full of admiration.
Then I saw Li Xiaoyan running on the city wall, facing the setting sun. The stunning transformation and the atmosphere bathed in the sunset were absolutely amazing.
The key is that there is a surprise in the corner of the video. A figure is seen practicing swordsmanship. Isn't that Lao Cheng?
What's terrifying is this video data.
It garnered over 230 million likes in just one hour.
This is yet another video aiming for 3000 million likes.
Moreover, thanks to video sales, thousands of pieces of this Hanfu have been sold in a short period of time. Once the hype dies down, no one dares to imagine how many more will be sold.
The videos that Lao Cheng posted one after another taught everyone a lesson, letting everyone know what it means to be the best at making videos on Douyin and what it means to be the king of live-streaming e-commerce.
Lin Hao immediately summoned his secretary and instructed, "Tell them to quickly go to those Ershi Xingchen livestreaming videos and buy a Hanfu they like. Don't let them become clowns at the Hanfu Outing Day on November 22nd."
Old Cheng had talked to him about the Hanfu outing day a long time ago, asking him to bring all 600+ girls from the company. Although the appearance fee wasn't high, it was still an event, and there were some expenses involved.
The key is that we'll definitely be able to ride the wave of popularity.
In Ost Media, Yuan Peng was also watching a video of a second-generation star girl, which was filmed by Zhang Yi'ai.
"As long as I hold this sword, what does it matter if I fight my way to the ninth heaven...?"
Seriously, seeing the flower petals in the girl's hand scatter as she turned and walked towards the stairs, the bouquet of flowers in her hand transforming into a long sword, and the clothes on her body turning into a gorgeous Hanfu, I felt my scalp tingle.
Seriously, many fantasy dramas and movies can't create such a chilling scene, but Chen Jincheng's short video of just over ten seconds managed to make people feel the momentum of him wielding the sword and the resolute atmosphere.
"That's amazing." Yuan Peng couldn't help but say to his assistant, "Have the planning department study Chen Jincheng's video ideas and see how many likes his videos get. None of them have fewer than 1000 million likes."
"More than twenty videos. Do you know what this means? In the future, traditional Chinese style videos will be a major category on Douyin. They must cultivate this category deeply. We must first get a big piece of the pie."
What amazed him even more was the sales effect generated by Chen Jincheng's campaign, which truly showed people what it means to be the king of live-streaming sales.
He opened the shopping cart ranking list and saw that the top 20 were all girls, all of them girls from the second generation of Starry Sky.
After Chen Jincheng's four Hanfu (traditional Han clothing) products dominated the top four spots in sales, many companies changed the timing of their video sales events, as they didn't want to compete with Chen Jincheng, and more importantly, they couldn't win.
This list is also a great opportunity for exposure.
Does selling products with Chen Jincheng mean giving up this exposure opportunity?
Seeing all these second-generation Starry Sky girls now, everyone is glad they made the right decision. Otherwise, if they were to promote products and still not see themselves on the list after flipping through two pages, they would be incredibly embarrassed.
What he envied even more was that these Hanfu were all Chen Jincheng's own businesses, which meant that the profits generated from these Hanfu belonged to Chen Jincheng, and he didn't just earn commissions.
Seriously, Chen Jincheng's level has truly surpassed that of these MCNs.
The sound of the dou.
Looking at the shopping cart sales ranking list, which was filled with girls from the second generation of Xingchen, Han Shangyou couldn't help but sigh that Chen Jincheng really could hold up half the sky when it came to the shopping cart function.
Whether it's just this week or this month, the entire area of Douyin belongs to Chen Jincheng.
No one can surpass these sales figures for Hanfu.
However, based on this video data, he is glad that he agreed to cooperate with Chen Jincheng to promote Hanfu Outing Day, and even more glad that he launched the Chinese style category. This data shows that this category will become one of the largest traffic categories on Douyin in the future.
This is the key point, and also the biggest **correctness**.
If Chen Jincheng can get a thumbs up from above, he is on the emperor's side. Even if their Douyin doesn't get a thumbs up, it will definitely leave a good impression.
On the other hand, Chen Yixiao of Kuaishou (a brand of handkerchiefs) could not possibly have been unaware of the Hanfu (traditional Han clothing) incident online.
He was also looking at the sales rankings in the Douyin shopping cart section.
Looking at all those girls who were born into stardom, he felt a lump in his throat.
Their algorithm has begun to show results, and their daily active users are gradually approaching parity with Douyin. However, the other party's shopping cart function suddenly became overloaded, which to some extent erased the gap that had been closed up before.
Now that Chan Kam-ching has stirred up this wave again, it not only proves the future of the shopping cart function once more, but it also gives Douyin a boost in popularity, which is not a good thing for them.
Honestly, I regret not discovering Chan Kam-ching from the beginning; it's obviously very difficult to poach him now.
After all, the other party is already an entrepreneur, and it's not something that can be poached through simple means.
"Sigh." Chen Yixiao couldn't help but sigh, then called his secretary and instructed, "Have Vice President Li prepare the financing strategy again, and start compiling all the company's data, projects, profit chains, etc. I need to have everything ready within three months."
"Yes, Mr. Chen." The secretary nodded and immediately went to handle it.
Kuaishou is no longer a small company; each round of financing is larger than the last. This round of financing may be an important step in the Douyin strategy. If they can even beat Douyin, it will be the last round of financing before going public. The preliminary preparations alone will take more than three months.
After giving his instructions, Chen Yixiao checked Douyin's situation again. Now, all they could do was wait for the financing to come in, increase R&D investment, quickly get the shopping cart out, and then expand market investment.
...
in the afternoon.
At Linhai Airport, Sister Hong and many employees of Ershixingchen were waiting at an exit because the CCTV interview team was coming.
The fact that CCTV sent an interview team is also a way for Er Shi Xing Chen to increase its reputation. At the very least, after CCTV broadcasts the interview, it can attract more talent to join the company.
The accompanying staff also held up a banner that read "Welcome CCTV Interview Team".
"Xiaoli, after you go back, add recruitment information for Hanfu designers and related staff to the job postings." While waiting with her team, Sister Hong didn't forget to instruct her newly recruited assistant.
This assistant was her former apprentice at her previous company. She was more efficient, so when she needed to hire an assistant, she thought of her and poached her.
“Okay, Sister Hong.” Xiaoli nodded immediately.
Because she used to be Sister Hong's apprentice, she quickly integrated into the company after joining Ershixingchen. Moreover, working at Ershixingchen is much more promising than working at her previous company.
Lei Jun's financing alone gave the company a valuation of 150 billion.
If the valuation of 150 billion was hard for everyone to understand before, now, with the series of actions of that internet celebrity boss and the sales data of Hanfu this time, the valuation of 150 billion has become more and more worthy of the name.
While the two were chatting, a plane from Beijing landed at the airport in Linhai City.
Chen Yu is a senior manager at CCTV and has a lot of research experience in genetic culture. Recently, he was also assigned to the cultural heritage department (specific details cannot be given).
Following the above document, their CCTV department also needs to take action, and a series of programs and variety shows about cultural inheritance will be launched.
As a new department, everything had to start from scratch, so this interview with Chen Jincheng was the department's first step. "Director Chen, quickly check the news online. While we were on our flight here, Chen Jincheng has stirred up a big controversy online again." A reporter in charge of the interview looked surprised and handed his phone to the interviewer.
After Chen Yu took the phone, he saw a trending topic on Douyin: "Chen Jincheng and his Hanfu".
He was familiar with the Douyin platform; it was now considered one of the two leading short video platforms, along with Kuaishou.
He clicked on the title out of curiosity, and his eyes lit up instantly. Inside were videos of beautiful girls wearing Hanfu (traditional Han Chinese clothing).
He clicked to view the video and was immediately drawn to the Hanfu worn by the girls in it.
These Hanfu really caught his eye; they were no worse than the previous four pieces.
Based on his research on genetic culture, he also has some understanding of film and television costumes and props. The difference between those Hanfu and the Hanfu designed by Chen Jincheng is really huge.
The Hanfu used in film and television costumes and props may not seem out of place to many staff members in scenic areas, but it's unlikely that anyone would actually wear those Hanfu on the street.
But Chen Jincheng's Hanfu is different; it looks exquisite and beautiful. I believe that in the future, some people will definitely be willing to wear it on the street and show it off confidently.
If we have to make a comparison, this is a revolution in Hanfu.
Looking at the different styles of Hanfu from various dynasties, he understood the meaning of Chen Jincheng's words more and more: this is the beauty of inheriting culture.
Chen Jincheng is a person with a strong sense of national responsibility.
Just as the other party said, "Let's wait and see." They didn't just talk the talk; they walked the walk and showed everyone the beauty of Hanfu culture.
"These videos have millions of likes, so they should be considered very popular, right?" Chen Yu asked the reporter in charge of the interview. He knew about short video platforms and knew that the quality of their videos was judged by the number of views and likes.
Upon hearing this, the reporter said excitedly, "Director Chen, it's more than just popular! Look how long his video has been uploading. We uploaded it while we were flying here. Once the video's popularity wanes, who knows how many more data points it will generate."
"To put it simply, there are very few videos with such data across the entire internet; it's terrifying."
Director Chen's face lit up with joy upon hearing this.
Are there very few videos like this on the entire internet?
There are so many videos of Hanfu, doesn't that mean that traditional Chinese Hanfu is very popular?
Then their cultural heritage preservation departments have a lot of potential, and the audience will definitely be very large.
The reporter was even more surprised and said, "What's truly terrifying is the sales data of these videos. Each of these Hanfu items has now sold 2000 million yuan worth of goods."
"Previously, Chen Jincheng sold 4 Hanfu items, and after the hype from the video sales ended, the total sales reached 5 million yuan. Now, these videos have only been uploaded for a short time, and the total sales have already exceeded 5 million yuan. I don't know how terrifying the final sales will be."
"This level of purchasing power indicates that there is a very large market group, and these people all agree with Hanfu culture and the Hanfu culture promoted by Chen Jincheng."
Director Chen seemed to be deep in thought when he heard this.
They inherited the legacy of the cultural department, and this interview was just a rehash of what others had said. They still need to produce results and create their own programs.
So he asked the reporter, "Xiao Qing, you said Chen Jincheng has such a great grasp of this kind of cultural heritage market, how about our department collaborates with Chen Jincheng on a cultural heritage program?"
This surprised the reporter. Chen Jincheng was just an internet celebrity; surely the other party wouldn't understand such things?
Designing Hanfu and making a TV program are not the same thing.
While chatting, Chen Yu led the interview team to the exit, where they immediately saw the people from Ershi Xingchen who were there to greet them.
The banner is easy to spot.
Sister Hong greeted him, saying, "Director Chen, welcome..."
The central government sent people to conduct an interview, and she naturally investigated who was in the interview team. This Director Chen held a high position within the central government.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they helped the person into the car and took them to Ershixingchen. At the same time, they made a phone call to the boss, and the person in charge received the call.
Upon receiving the call, Chen Jincheng immediately notified Wanxi and Jingshu to prepare.
This interview will focus on the design department, since they are the ones who truly understand Hanfu culture. As for Xiao Ju and the other girls, they can just act as assistants and clothes hangers to showcase Hanfu.
Just as he finished making arrangements, Chen Jincheng's phone rang again; it was an unfamiliar number.
He answered the call with a puzzled look, and a voice came from the other end: "Mr. Chen, you're on the phone again."
“President Zhou.” Chen Jincheng frowned.
The other party called again at this time, but not from the same number, which clearly meant they had nothing good to say.
Zhou Huapeng's voice came again: "President Chen, I must say, your methods are very sophisticated, leaving me with no chance to fight back. So, I concede. In the costume, makeup, and props industry, I am willing to share the market profits with you equally. This is my final concession. President Chen doesn't want us to end up losing everything, does he?"
Chen Jincheng was speechless upon hearing this: "President Zhou, I already said from the beginning that Young Master Wang's criticism of you has nothing to do with me, and I have absolutely no interest in your industry."
"Didn't you see how much sales data my Hanfu videos generated? Seriously, even if you spend a whole year on costumes, makeup, and props for movies and TV shows, would you earn as much as I did with this one Hanfu video sales session?"
"..." Zhou Huapeng was suddenly silenced by a single sentence.
Because I was a bit discouraged.
He naturally paid attention to the situation online. Chen Jincheng's total sales on Hanfu livestreaming had reached 10 billion yuan. Based on the estimate of a profit margin of around 50%, that means the other party earned 5 million yuan.
The key is that these Hanfu sales have only just begun, and the final figures will multiply several times over.
He thought about it and realized he was really tired. What they were doing was incredibly risky; if anything went wrong, they'd be finished. How could they possibly make money so easily like the other side?
However, the other party also gave him an idea. Once this matter is over, he will teach the other party a lesson and then reap the rewards.
So he coldly said, "President Chen, what happened before is not important. What's important is what's to come. After all, pushing someone too far will not end well. So, I hope you can put on a show for us and say that what happened before was just mutual hype, and help us cover things up."
"Hehehe!" Chen Jincheng laughed upon hearing this, and couldn't help but curse into the room: "You wouldn't listen when I explained, you insisted on messing with me, and now that something's happened, why do you think I wouldn't want to kill you? Are you an idiot?"
After saying that, he hung up the phone without saying another word to the other party.
He could hear the threat in the other party's voice, but even so, he couldn't help cover it up for them, because the other party was destined to go to jail, and the things they did would take at least three years to get out.
Does helping the other party cover up and conceal the truth mean he's trying to sow discord among those in power, or that he's not eager to die sooner?
On the other side, Zhou Huapeng's face turned pale and then red. The word "idiot" deeply stung him, causing him to smash his phone to pieces.
That guy's asking for it!
Zhou Huapeng took out another phone, dialed a number, and asked, "Where are you now?"
A voice came from the other end: "We're already at the Jin Mao Tower. We've learned about the situation at Second Star, Mr. Zhou. Judging from your tone, it seems you're about to take action?"
Zhou Huapeng said coldly, "Let's try courtesy first, then force. If he still doesn't know what's good for him, then don't blame us."
"Mr. Zhou, just watch my performance!" the other person said with a sinister tone.
